Ziga Koritnik and The Eye

Cloud Arrangers is all about new cultures and new environments; but what Koritnik has accomplished here is nothing less than a tale told in imagery; a story told through The Eye, and Koritnik's inestimable gift for capturing magical moments in time. Pulling form from the ether in the best spontaneous spirit of the subjects whom he has lovingly photographed, with Cloud Arrangers, Žiga Koritnik has created a transportive visual narrative that transcends the merely visual, and finds its way into the heart, mind and soul of the music that so inspires him. Hopefully a publisher will be prepared to pick Cloud Arrangers up and give the world s chance to experience Koritnik's eye...and his unique ability to capture the music that's all around us and present it in ways most of us would never have to envisaged.

I love jazz because it's been a life's work.
I was first exposed to jazz by my father.
I met Hampton Hawes.
The best show I ever attended was Les McCann.
The first jazz record I bought was Herbie Hancock.
My advice to new listeners is to listen at a comfortable volume.
